I have been waiting very patiently to show these to you! I had this idea months ago and have been working on them, but I didn't want to show them too far in advance of the 4th of July, or "America Day" as my daughter so aptly calls it!
But here they are...my 4th of July Star Topiaries!! (or should I call them "America Day Topiaries! hahaha!)
These are so super simple to make. But they do take a little bit of time. But it was well worth the time it took because I think they are so cute!
Lastly, I hid the Styrofoam in the pail with a bit of crinkled paper.
Aren't these just too cute?? I love my 4th of July America Star Topiaries!
Have you started decorating for the 4th of July yet?

Those are really neat. I don't think I would have the patience to punch all those stars though, LOL! I love how the pearl pins against the papers. Visiting from Inspire Me Monday.<br />~Kimberlee<br /><a href="http://thespunkydiva.net/?p=550/" rel="nofollow"> {Accuquilt Giveaway closes 6/7} </a>
